CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.
How a Case Of Ten Years Standing wss
Cured In TrIce.

is acurious fact, TO which we call
the attention of the medical fraternity
of this country. THAI chronic rheuma-
tism can be cured. The remedy is Of
the most allopathic and heroic charac-
ter, consisting. as IL does, Of the out
ward application Of two shot-guns and
mad dog. the whole "to be well
shaken before taken.
The pathetic story Of John Hem
bricks, of Warsaw. Ga, will be re-
gartlcd as demonstration of the theory
known as the mind cure, and this fact
makes the case still more exciting.
Hendricks had the rheumatism for ten
years-that is, he thought he had. He
was so impressed with this unfortunate
idea that his legs did their best to tie
themselves in bow knot and succeed
ed remarkably well. His arms were also
doubled up in the most remarkable
fashion--or at least that was the notion
he had about them.
One day, while sitting under a live
oak tree, a mad dog CHANGED that way
and two men with guns in hot pursuit.
Suddenly shots were heard and the
live-oak was well peppered. All at
once Hendricks opinion about his
rheumatism was changed. He con-
cluded in trice that he didn't have
any, or at any rate not enough TO pre-
vent him from getting out of the way,
He jumped up, therefore, danced a
war dance, yelled to the sportsmcn
and then made for home with the speed
of a dear gaelic. Since that moment
he has had no rheumatism.
However. there's no use to call 1t a
miracle. The cure was effected by
cold lead and mad dog. N T.
